At least for the new model with its horizontal drops, you can use an IGH. And the Rohloff hub gives more than 500% range, better than any cassette, I would guess. Very expensive of course, but the quality and durability match the price. And the Alfine 11 gives more than a 400% range; I've never used the Alfine 11, but I understand it's mechanically very like the Rohloff 14 at around a third the price.

To which I would add that an 11 cog cassette is straight up pointless. But to each his own. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
